In a recent year, the scores for the reading portion of a test were normally distributed, with a mean of 20.5 and a standard deviation of 6.7. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Find the probability that a randomly selected high school student who took the reading portion of the test has a score that is less than 19. The probability of a student scoring less than 19 is 0.4129 (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that a randomly selected high school student who took the reading portion of the test has a score that is between 13.9 and 27.1. The probability of a student scoring between 13.9 and 27.1 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

The average amount of money spent for lunch per person in the college cafeteria is $6.24 and the standard deviation is $2.05. Suppose that 6 randomly selected lunch patrons are observed.

A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1466 and the standard deviation was 315. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1890, 1210, 2200, and 1340. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The Z-score for 1890 is. (Round to two decimal places as needed.).
Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 238 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 142.4 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 175.45 cm and a standard deviation of 5.59 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? ... Since the z score for the tallest man is z = 0 and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was Im- more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.) shortest tallest
